Yellowstone Park

Although the East Gate into Yellowstone Park is only 1.5 hours away in Cody, WY, coming to the Lazy E-L means that you get all the natural beauty of Yellowstone without the ridiculous crowds that flood the park every summer. All the wildlife, except the buffalo, have taken up residence on the ranch and since the reintroduction of the wolf, the Lazy E-L is home to the only wolf den on private land.
